The EGT bungs are done! Friday is looking good for me to pick the car up from the fab shop, I have everything ready to go to be able to start the car this weekend!
Well its Monday morning and what would you know cars still not done as promised . All fab shops are the same, I really don't get it I was ghosted all week and then on Friday I got this picture. The car looks far from being done, Doors, front end bracing, trans mount and TA mount, handles inside the car. Everything besides the doors could be done in one day. Rant over ...
The work done looks great but like you sad everyone fab shop is exactly the same. I don’t get but it’s how they work. I wish I had the skills they have I think I’d make a lot more money then wrench on cars for a living
got an update on the car, it’s getting there, should have the doors hopefully done tomorrow and just a couple more things and it will be ready. Also I decided to have him go a head and make bull horns too and straight fender exits just so I have the option down the line.
Thanks! There was an unexpected setback on Friday but a new front end is ordered and the hood order was changed. Should have it base wired to start it this week!
So on Friday I got an unexpected call from the fab guy saying the front end would not go back on with the carbon doors. We had a couple of choices, cut the doors, cut the fenders, but after thinking long and hard I decided to do the most logical thing and ordered a one piece front end. I got a couple hundred dollars off of it and they put a rush on it, It should be ready in 2-3 weeks. Also In switching the front clip the VFN hood I have had on order for 15 weeks had to be changed. Luckily they changed the order, still looking sometime in December for that tho.
this is the hood I switched too this hood, say goodbye to seeing lol
Well boys this is what we’ve been waiting well it’s almost two long years on this build. Finally started it up now for the first time this morning and it’s glorious!!
Yeah….forget that. Fingers crossed over here for you!
im not trying to rush anything either, the frontend should be here in a couple of weeks. Still waiting on VFN, it’s crazy ordered that hood in June!

thanks! It for sure is!! I can’t tell you how stoke i am just to be able to hear the car! I have to measure for the driveshaft this week and get that order in with QA1 and plum the brakes, that way I can move it around under its own power!
